Re MBP batteries...
Other - non-Mac laptops and notebooks, it is possible to remove the battery on most I think, and this is often advised where you use your machine mainly from the mains and rarely take it out.

Wouldn't it be easier for all if Apple adopted a similar procedure for the MBPro ?

But is your opinion that those who say you should remove your battery from a modern lap-top rather than a note-book - are correct ?

It is supposed to cause unnecessary drainage on the battery if it's constantly being re-charged through plugging into the mains etc
On my Acer laptop, I charged the removable battery to full and use it from the mains as I rarely have need to take it out anywhere etc

P.S. I wouldn't know how to even think about removing the battery from my MBP !

It is not advised to remove the battery from an Apple notebook when using it from mains. The CPU is automatically throttled down in speed when the battery is removed.

This is absolutely true. The CPU is throttled down to preserve the system as it is possible to draw more current than the mains adapter can provide alone. If that is hit, the system will power off and no data is preserved.
